Between save-the-dates, wedding invites, and thank-you notes, the couple is going to have a lot of mail going out. When it comes to practical gifts, this one may just take the cake. Takes some effort to get a good impression "It felt a little one-dimensional and watered down." she said. Donovan also was a little confused that it was marketed as a "gay wedding gift," but that there weren't any LGBTQ+ cultural signifiers. "For the women, there were only striped patterns in different colors and solid white shirts," she said.
"The design has a whimsical, handmade vibe that feels cheerful." Donovan felt that the personalization options were a little limited and wished that there was more variety in the clothing. "This print came out a little differently than what I had expected, but it's cute," she said. Senior Editor Kate Donovan ordered a custom version of this print representing herself, her partner, and their cats. It's a touching gift that will earn a permanent place of honor on their wall. Customize everything from hairstyles and outfits to the pets on either side of the couple. They'll treasure this personalized portrait for years to come. "Since it's not made of traditional ceramic or glass, these dishes won't break in transit or if it gets dropped on the floor." She even tried dropping it on the floor several times to test the strength of the material, and was not disappointed. Reals didn't love the matte finish and quality of the material, but she appreciated that the dish was extremely durable. "It's a nice touch that really makes the gift feel handmade and extra personalized." The site offers several versions of customization and design, ranging from minimalist letters to more ornate floral motifs. "There was a muslin cotton drawstring bag that's stamped with the brand's logo," she said. Personalize it with the happy couple's initials and engagement date for a thoughtful touch.Īssociate Fashion Editor Erika Reals liked the overall look of the product, including the packaging that it came in. This little dish may be the gift they treasure the most-it will help keep their engagement rings and wedding bands safe on the nightstand or next to the sink. If you decide to splurge on some nice champagne, gift the couple "accompanying champagne flutes or matching travel toiletry bags (great for the honeymoon and other travels!)," she says. While gifts aren't required, it's always good to show up to a party with something in hand, recommends Victoria Della Torre of San Francisco-based Etiquette Design Company.
A personalized piece of art or another item that commemorates the engagement is also something that the couple will treasure for years to come. "Take the same budget you would spend on bubbly and put it towards a special piece that they'll have forever," says Lee. If the couple has set it up in time for the engagement party, NYC-based event designer and registry expert Jung Lee recommends choosing something from the registry.
